The spread of coronavirus has prompted Community Board 7, covering Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham, Kingsbridge Heights, and University Heights to suspend in-person constituent services and cancel all of the remaining committee meetings and its upcoming general board meeting.
In an email blast sent out today, the decision to suspend meetings was motivated “out of an abundance of caution.” So far, there have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus originating in the Bronx.
For now, such constituent services will happen over the phone, with board officials sharing a listing of names, emails, and phone numbers should they need help.
The list goes:
Emmanuel Martinez, Chairperson; E-mail: Emmartinez@cb.nyc.go
Ischia Bravo, District Manager E-mail: Ibravo@cb.nyc.gov
Londy Ramirez, Community Coordinator E-mail: Lramriez@cb.nyc.gov
Michael Rosario, Community Associate E-mail: Mirosario@cb.nyc.gov
The move comes a day after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a state of emergency for New York City, which temporarily bans large gatherings of 500 people or more.
